That will significantly update your XP video driver, and you can allocate more memory to video in XP that way. </p> <p>Also, Parallels is 'on sale' right now as a part of "The MacUpdate Promo" (google it). It comes included w/ a bunch of other software for less than the normal cost of Parallels. </p> <p>Hope this helps, not too late. </p> <p>Ross </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/games-in-mac-parallel-desktop#post-14919 Wed, 26 Mar 2008 20:48:07 +0000 MrMono 14919@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Many thanks. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/games-in-mac-parallel-desktop#post-14908 Wed, 26 Mar 2008 19:55:13 +0000 jd2066 14908@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>You can try posting your question on <a href='http://forum.parallels.com/'>http://forum.parallels.com/</a> </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/games-in-mac-parallel-desktop#post-14898 Wed, 26 Mar 2008 19:28:20 +0000 MrMono 14898@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Can anyone help me with this? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/games-in-mac-parallel-desktop#post-14496 Tue, 25 Mar 2008 02:13:57 +0000 MrMono 14496@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Anyone? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/games-in-mac-parallel-desktop#post-14466 Mon, 24 Mar 2008 21:29:41 +0000 MrMono 14466@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Hello How-To, I come to seek your aid with 2 problems Im currently facing with my Mac.</p> <p>Problem 1:<br /> Recently I have downloaded the new version of Parallel Desktop 3.0 Build 5584 as an update that was available. The pre-update version I had was already registered/activated and working Windows XP perfectly. Now however it is asking me for an activation key, which I dont have.</p> <p>I am currently using a 15-day free-trial period to acces my user in the emulated Windows XP, but once that is ove O know not what I could save call someone from tech support. So, before I do that I want to know what my options are. Apparently, there is no activation code as the Parallel Desktop came free with the Mac.</p> <p>tl;dr: I downloaded Build 5584 and my updated Paralel Desktop is now un-registered. What are my options?</p> <p>Problem 2:<br /> So I read that with 3.0 I can now run Age of Empires 3 (for windows) and other such games on Parallel Desktop. Can someone tell this poor n00b how exactly I can do this?<br /> It was already installed prior to the update but whenever I tried to run it it said that my video card has 0MN and that a 64MB video card was required.<br /> Im sure Im missing something incredibly obvious, and that there is a very easy way to play a game like AoEIII on an emulated Windows XP on a Mac but I lack the google-fu necesary to find it. So I ask you, can you help me on this matter?</p> <p>tl;dr: How do I play window games on mac? I dunno lol.</p> <p>Many thanks in advance and my deepest apologies if these are questions that have been discussed/asked to death. </p>
